Professional Project: Illustration Number Ten - Hessonite

Hessonite is a semi-precious stone. So I immediately thought of jewelery and then fashion illustration. So that's the style I went for.

 

Sketch

Add ink/watercolour

I thought the hessonite should stand out more so I desaturated the clothing. Not sure if I like it.

Removed the splodges. Not sure if I like this either. I'll pick one later.

Always Looking Toned

 

I've evolved my style to encorporate skin tone which I think makes it look so much better. Especially with the tone that sits around the chin and stuff. Next time I'm thinking about going for full colour on the tattoos as well just to make it brighter. But that requires a lot of patience which I don't have much of. But as for this, I love it. This is probably my favourite draw I've done this year.
